“Never take candy from strangers,” Leon said sternly, pulling Chris roughly away from some geezer in a wrinkled suit.

“He was just being nice.”

“That kind of nice you don’t need.”

He sat his brother down on a bench and hunkered down in front of him with a sigh. “Look, kiddo, the world is a dangerous place and you can’t always trust people, especially strangers.”

“But we get all kinds of candy from strangers on Halloween.”

“That’s different.”

“How?”

“Because I’m your big brother and I love you.” He ruffled Chris’ hair. “And I’m always there to keep you safe.”

God, we were just discussing this topic a while ago elsewhere... =S
...and children just always have to ask why/how/etc. whenever we truly mean their safety, no? DX

But don't worry; I'm in a mood.
Your drabble is excellent, and has a kind of cute ending line ^-^

I used to ask that same question: all year long we're told not to take candy from strangers, then give us the one day where we do just that.
*steams*
aaaaaaanyway, really great drabble, love brotherly love!Leon. So cute.

Mexico has no Halloween celebration =D So it's a general "no candy from strangers" for us XD (hence why I didn't say a thing about it in my own comment XP)

No...no Ha... no Ha... no... no Hallo...NO HALLOWEEN?!
*glomps, huggles, crying*
You poor soul! How did you ever survive?! Halloween is the greatest thing ever! God only knows what horrible, deprived childhood you must have had without it!

Eh, I don't really miss it D= Like, once or twice dressed up, but it's always been too dangerous to ask candy anywhere...
And there's always the people from the church, of course; they force it to be cancelled everywhere in the city as well.

How did I ever survive? Why shouldn't I have? ...Really, you exaggerate, no? D=

Meh, don't keep this discussion with me D=
Like, really, don't. Please...

Very nicely done. And the conversation between Leon and Chris afterword, sounds so typical for a little child and an adult. Nice touch!

Awww, I love Leon being all brotherly! And I never realized before how Halloween contradicts all that "don't take candy from strangers" stuff our parents told us! ;)
